TS3650 Kill Switch

05-16-2007, 06:43 PM

Has anyone tried to make and install a kill switch for the TS3650. The ones that I have seen people use appear to be boards that hang over the switch so that when the saw is in the "on" position, they can simply bump it with there knee or foot to turn the saw off. This seems like a great idea if you're cutting something big like plywood and you need to hold on to it. Thanks

I do like the Ridgid switch better than many others, though. I installed it on the left side, so I never have to reach in front of the blade to shut it off. I also practiced shutting it off with my hip and it was easier than I thought, FWIW.

Yep! Easy Cheap and Effective. Just slide it around to different positions on the rail until you find the 'sweet spot' that works best for you. I **always** use my hip to turn it off.

Hey I just thought I would let you know I ordered from the guy on Ebay. The shipping was fast and the switch is awesome. As he stated in the auction the only thing is the female plug is funky. Just replug it or direct wire it like I did and you are good to go. It looks like he has more in his store as well.http://search.stores.ebay.com/EZ-Auc...641942QQsofpZ0

I was planning to build a paddle type of accessory to switch the saw off with my knee but found that it's very easy to hit the switch with my hip as well. Like mentioned about it's just a matter of positioning it in the 'sweet spot'.
